Python cryptography, Rust, and Gentoo

In answer to your thing about "why is C good enough to write other languages in?" - it's not. It's been used because it's what we had when those languages started being written, and good things that exist are better than perfect things that don't exist, and so we now have technical debt to pay down in relation to security and undefined behaviour.

Rust is one path for paying down that technical debt - it's not the only possibility, but it's one that exists now and has found a sweet spot that Agda (theoretically better, but harder to use) and Object Pascal (Lazarus project) have not found. I'm confident that in the future, we will find a new sweet spot language, and will have tech debt written in Rust to pay down, too.
